Circumstance

Iran

Lavishly beautiful study of a love that can't be named. Two young women living in contemporary Iran carry on a clandestine affair in the face of the severe repression that we all know will eventually condemn or even kill them.

Scenes were staged with a subtle touch - the director keeps us on tenterhooks waiting for the moment when it all comes crashing down on our protagonists. Nicely acted and assembled. A cut above the routine lesbian film
